Silt curtains at north-eastern corner of New Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter

For approximately 16 months, silt curtains [are] established within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22 deg. 18.984’N / 114 deg. 09.573’E

(D) 22 deg. 19.010’N / 114 deg. 09.556’E

The silt curtains [are] established near the outlet of the Cherry Street box culvert at north-eastern corner of New Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, with two ends fixed on vertical seawall, to intercept general floating refuse from the culvert.

Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights [are] laid along the surface of the silt curtains to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

Diving operations [are being] carried out from a work boat from time to time during the laying, inspection and maintenance operations.

Vessel engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the silt curtains at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working around the silt curtains.
